Ghost Information Boxes

Tim,
I'm sure I posted this issue a long time ago but can't find it.  When I mouseover AI traffic, a VOR, or an airport - instead of displaying a readable information box next to the object, Plan-G displays what I'll call two sides of a "ghost box" with either no information in it or very barely readable information (examples attached).

Occasionally, for traffic, the readable box displays for an instant, then all I see is either the ghost box (upon mouseover) or a remnant of data other than what displayed quickly (upon right-click). 

When I posted this in the distant past, you suggested refreshing the display with F5 but that's ineffective.  My Plan-G is at the current level (Ver. 2.0.5.493).  I use FSUIPC, in case that might be a factor, but I can't imagine how.  I recall that you described this as "bizarre."  I agree.  How can I begin diagnosing this thing?

Perhaps related, I have an issue with the data ribbon displayed after clicking either the Home or Map tab at the top (examples attached).

Thanks Very Much, A8

Well, attaching the images didn't work. I browsed to four rather small image files and didn't see an "Attach" link so had nothing else to click.  So I replied to my post and tried again.  I seem to have gotten one image to attach.  I'll try the other three.  Aaaahh.  That's better.  Have a look.

Do you have Plan-G in front of the FS window? That could certainly do it.

Ido!  I do!  The symptoms have been intermittent, but I minimized FS and this is the answer!.  What an easy fix.  I love it.  Thanks Tim.
